Why does my car constantly spam me?

[PoopDawg]

I go to fill her up, and I get spammed by the gas cap. Anyone every wondered how much BP paid Ford to put their advertisement and name on the gas cap?

Yeah, its unreal.

I HATE the Gas CAP.

It is so gay and cheap.

We need a spam blocker.

should have got an 05

i dont know how much they paid ford, but it really drives me nuts. it is one thing to recommend a station in the owners manual and another to put in in a highly visible location.

can you take a razor blade and scrape it off? if it were on my car, i would try that or some laquer thinner.

Last summer I rented an '06 Ford 500 and it had the BP cap in it as well

I must be blind and stupid too, because I dont see anything on my 07 GT gas cap. Oh ya.........Im old too!

 

[ARTTII]

Just get a locking cap like I did and be done with it. I have a couple more caps if anyone is interested here......

Was this something that is area specific? My 07 GT has a normal cap.

I also have wondered what that ad cost on the gas cap. Especially since BP stations are few and far between here in Richmond. Granted, Bp is affiliated with/owned by a few other major companies, but it's still an odd ad. It doesn't bother me, I still fill up at the cheapest place in town with good results.

I have an 07 and it doesnt have anything on the Gas cap.

Am I just super lucky?

 

[ShowYa06]

It all depends on your area/region according to Ford.

Got one on my 07 delivered here in NC too. I think a piece of black electrical tape might just do the trick to cover it.

 

[Hoboattacker]

Locking gas cap FTMFW!

 

[Art161]

I have the ad on my '07 GT in California. We need a no cost option--"Delete ad on gas cap."

 

[PoopDawg]

Mine was supposed to be delievered to California, to Saleen. Maybe that's why it has the BP gas cap.
